Philosophy“Focus on context-sensitive architecture that integrates material and logic of construction, in search of the ‘archetypal’ form.”

Project in focusThe structure of the Rhizome House evolved organically, dictated by the placement of the trees on the site. Four main branches stem out of a central node, and have been oriented towards the sunlight and the landscape.

SignatureMinimalistic monoliths, manifested through the “frugal deployment of materials”.

InfluencesLe Corbusier, Rem Koolhaas.

Recent discovery“The atmosphere of the natural and built environment of Hampi, Karnataka.”

Words of wisdom“Architecture is about finding [a connection] between place and form. The building gets defined as much as the place and, like a sponge, may absorb the context and gradually enter public memory.”
